* Below that, double click on DigitalImaging (you may have to scroll down to find it)
* Double check that you are in the correct place; at the very bottom of this Registry Editor window, in the border of the window, it should say
“My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Hewlett-Packard\DigitalImaging”
* Now move to the right window. Right click in an empty area of the right window and select NEW, then select STRING VALUE; when the new String Value is created, it will be highlighted and named “New Value #1” … type this new name instead ProfileWritePath (retain the upper and lower case characters) and hit enter
* Now double click on this new key that you named ProfileWritePath
* A window will open, and in the white box labeled “Value data:” enter this
%APPDATA%\HP\Digital Imaging\Data\Destination
* Make sure you enter it exactly as I have shown it above
* Click on ok
* Close all the windows we opened … you are done.
